Values

The place possesses aesthetic significance as a collection of distinctive and recognisable landscapes with readily identifiable vegetation and man made structures. It is largely unspoilt by new development or other intrusions.

The place is rare as a small rural settlement from the 1850s predominantly designed in the Victorian Georgian architectural style in Western Australia.

The place possesses historical significance as the land use from the 19th century is still evident and represents a way of life no longer practised.

The place has scientific significance as it may yield more information about a way of life no longer practised and the way of life practised in the Midwest in the 19th century.

The place has social significance as the former civic, social and religious centre for the residents of Greenough in the 19th century.

The place is rare as it represents a collection of buildings from the 19th century that remain relatively untouched.
